Mum-of-22 Sue Radford announces arrival of new baby as UK's largest family gets bigger

Britain's largest family has welcomed a new addition to its brood.

Chloe Radford, 26, has introduced her baby daughter to fans online, with mum and grandma, Sue, celebrating the arrival of the newest member of the Radford family.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Chloe shared a snap of herself alongside her partner and their newborn baby.

Captioning the sweet image, she wrote: "23rd July 2022 [star emoji] our beautiful daughter made her entrance into the world and we are in the biggest baby love bubble you can imagine.

"6lb 2oz of pure perfection and I can’t quite believe she is ours. I am just so in love with her."

Taking to her Instagram Stories, mum-of-22 Sue expressed her delight at becoming a grandmother once again by writing: "So proud of Chloe and Jake, she’s a little beauty, can’t wait to meet her."

Underneath Chloe's Instagram update, a number of fans and famous faces took the time to congratulate the star on the birth of her child - including the sisters of former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.

"congratulations beautiful family," Daisy Tomlinson wrote to Chloe, while sister Phoebe Tomlinson left a string of love-heart eyes emojis as a comment.

"Congratulations to you both wishing you all the happiness for the future," one fan also commented underneath Chloe's post, with another adding: "Congratulations sweet !! What a beautiful family photo! Xxx."

Chloe's newborn baby is the latest arrival to join Britain's biggest family, the Radfords, who became household names thanks to Channel 4 documentary 15 Kids and Counting.

Matriarch Sue and dad Noel are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 25, Daniel, 23, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 17, Aimee, 16, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 12, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, seven, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, two.

The couple's 17th child Alfie was born stillborn on July 6, 2014.

Sue and Noel are also proud grandparents to 10 grandchildren and have not ruled out having more children in the future, but have admitted it doesn't seem likely to happen.

Last month, Sue took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that for the first time in 30 years, their family home does not have a cot in it following youngest Heidie turning two.

Sharing a clip of the cot being dismantled, Sue wrote in June: "So this has just happened - the cot is gone.

"For the first time in over 30 years we don’t have a cot in the house.

"Such a massive milestone which feels weird but good."

Sue went on to share a picture of the room once the cot had been removed, and told her followers there's "so much more room" now.
